2 SHBC Sunday School Systematic Theology: Part 4, Week 1 October 25, Why was Jesus deity necessary? C. Grudem: The : Deity and humanity in the one person of Christ 1. Grudem: Three inadequate views of the person of Christ a. Grudem: Apollinarianism: The one person of Christ had a human body but a human mind or spirit, and that the mind and spirit of Christ were from the divine nature of the Son of God b. Grudem: Nestorianism: Nestorianism is the doctrine that there were two persons in Christ, a human person and a divine person c. Grudem: Monophysitism (Eutychianism): The view that Christ had nature only in which both were somewhat modified to form one new nature 2. Grudem: The solution to the controversy: The Chalcedonian Definition of A.D. 451 [abbreviated]: We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body; consubstantial [coessential] with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to the Manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Onlybegotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God, the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ Grudem: Combining specific biblical texts on Christ s deity and humanity Remaining what he, he became what he was Scripture Memory Passage: John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. Hymn: Fairest Lord Jesus (Münster Gesangbuch, 1677) Jim Fleming stuartheights.org/sundayschool 2
3 SHBC Sunday School Systematic Theology: Part 4, Week 2 November 1, 2015 Systematic Theology Part 4: Doctrine of Christ & Holy Spirit Chapter 27: The Atonement Was it necessary for Christ to die? Did Christ s entire earthly life earn any saving benefits for us? The cause and nature of the atonement. Scripture Memory Passage Review: John 1:14 Explanation and Scriptural Basis Grudem: The work Christ did in his life and death to earn our (at- -ment) A. Grudem: The cause of the atonement Grudem: The love and justice of. John 3:16. Grudem: God sent Christ to be a. Romans 3:25-26; Psalm 5:5. B. Grudem: The necessity of the atonement Matthew 26:39; Luke 24:25-26; Hebrews 2:17; 10:4; 9:23, C. Grudem: The nature of the atonement 1. Grudem: Christ s obedience for us (sometimes called his obedience ) Grudem: Christ had to live a life of perfect obedience to God in order to earn righteousness for us. Philippians 3:9; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Romans 5:19; Matthew 3:15 2. Grudem: Christ s sufferings for us (sometimes called his obedience ) Grudem: Christ also took on himself the sufferings necessary to pay the penalty for our sins. a. Grudem: Suffering for his whole life. Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 5:8; 12:3-4; Isaiah 53:3. b. Grudem: The pain of the cross. Matthew 26:38. (1) Grudem: Physical pain and death.

4 SHBC Sunday School Systematic Theology: Part 4, Week 2 November 1, 2015 c. Grudem: Further understanding of the death of Christ.... There is no more penalty for sin left for us to pay. The penalty has entirely been paid by Christ, and we should have no remaining fear of condemnation or punishment.... Penal substitution. Christ s death was penal in that he bore a penalty when he died. His death was also a substitution in that he was a substitute for us when he died.... Vicarious atonement. A vicar is someone who stands in the place of another or who represents another. Christ s death was therefore vicarious because he stood in our place. d. Grudem: New Testament terms describing different aspects of the atonement (1) Grudem:. Hebrews 9:26. (2) Grudem:. 1 John 4:10. (3) Grudem:. 2 Corinthians 5: (4) Grudem:. Mark 10:45; 1 John 5:19; Hebrews 2:15; Colossians 1:13; Romans 6:11, 14 D. Grudem: The extent of the atonement Grudem: Questions for Personal Application (abbreviated) 1. If Christ bore all the guilt for our sins, all the wrath of God against sin, and all the penalty of the death that we deserved, then will God ever turn his wrath against you as a believer (Romans 8:31 39)? If not, then why do we as Christians experience difficulties and sufferings in this life (Romans 8:28; Hebrews 12:3 11)? 2. Do you think it was fair for Christ to be your substitute and to pay your penalty? When you think about him acting as your substitute and dying for you, what attitude and emotion is called forth in your heart? Scripture Memory Passage: Romans 3: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Hymn: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Isaac Watts, 1707) Jim Fleming stuartheights.org/sundayschool 4

Himself (John 10:17-18; 2:19-21) or the Father (Acts 2:24; Romans 6:4; 1 Corinthians 6:14; Galatians 1:1; Ephesians 1:20)? 4. Grudem: Doctrinal significance of the resurrection a. Grudem: Christ s resurrection ensures our. 1 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 2:5-6; Philippians 3:10; Ephesians 1:19-20; Romans 6:4, 11; Acts 1:8 b. Grudem: Christ s resurrection ensures our. Romans 4:25 c.

Can you think of some characteristics of the resurrection body that you... look forward to? 2. The Bible says that you are now seated with Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). As you meditate on this fact, how will it affect your prayer life? Scripture Memory Passage: 1 Corinthians 15: But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ s at His coming.

7 SHBC Sunday School Systematic Theology: Part 4, Week 4 November 15, 2015 Systematic Theology Part 4: Doctrine of Christ & Holy Spirit Chapter 29: The Offices of Christ How is Christ prophet, priest, and king? Scripture Memory Passage Review: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 Explanation and Scriptural Basis Grudem: There were major offices among the people of Israel in the Old Testament A. Grudem: Christ as prophet Grudem: The Old Testament prophets God s words to the people. Deuteronomy 18: Many thought Jesus was Prophet (John 6:14; 7:40 including Peter in Acts 3:22-24). Grudem: Jesus... is also far greater than any of the Old Testament prophets, in two ways: 1. Grudem: He is the one about whom the prophecies in the Old Testament were made. Luke 24:27 2. Grudem: Jesus was not merely a messenger of revelation from God (like all the other prophets), but was himself the source of revelation from God. Matthew 5:22 B.

Grudem: Our roles as prophets, priests, and kings Grudem: If we look back at the situation of Adam before the fall... these roles of prophet, priest, and king had in the experience that God originally intended for man, and will be fulfilled in our lives in heaven. Grudem: In the Garden of Eden... Genesis 1:26-28 Grudem: After sin entered into the world... Grudem: There was a partial recovery... Grudem: When Christ came... Grudem: We as Christians even now... ; 1 Peter 2:5, 9; Hebrews 10:19, 22; 13:15-16; Romans 12:1; Ephesians 2:6; 6:10-18; James 4:7 Grudem: When Christ returns and rules... ; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Revelation 22:3-4, 5; 3:21 Grudem: For all eternity, we shall forever function as prophets, priests, and kings, yet always subject to the Lord Jesus, the supreme prophet, priest, and king.

Hymn: Rejoice the Lord Is King (Charles Wesley, 1746) Jim Fleming stuartheights.org/sundayschool 8
9 SHBC Sunday School Systematic Theology: Part 4, Week 5 November 22, 2015 Systematic Theology Part 4: Doctrine of Christ & Holy Spirit Chapter 30: Work of the Holy Spirit What are the distinctive activities of the Holy Spirit throughout the history of the Bible? Scripture Memory Passage Review: 1 Peter 2:9-10 Explanation and Scriptural Basis Grudem: The work of the Holy Spirit is to manifest the presence of God in the world, and especially in the church.

Grudem: The Holy Spirit Acts 2:16-18; 1 Corinthians 12:21, 11, 7, 13 E. Grudem: The Holy Spirit gives stronger or weaker evidence of the presence and blessing of God according to our response to Him John 1:32; Judges 16:20 Grudem: Also in the New Testament the Holy Spirit can be and cease to bring blessing in a situation. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 Matthew 12: Grudem: These statements are made in a context in which the Pharisees willfully and maliciously attribute to the powerful work of the Holy Spirit that was evident in the ministry of Jesus. 1 Peter 4:14 Grudem: Therefore it is important that our ministry be done in the Holy Spirit. Grudem: It is also possible to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 Scripture Memory Passage: Romans 8: Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
